Introduction to the verb chanfreiner
The English translation of chanfreiner is “to bevel.” It is pronounced “shahn-fray-nay.”
The word chanfreiner is derived from the Old French word “chanfraigne,” which comes from the Latin word “camfractio” meaning “breaking off,” “fracture,” or “beveling.” In everyday French, chanfreiner is most often used in the Subjonctif Passé tense to express a possibility or uncertainty about a past action or event.

- Je suis content qu’ils aient chanfreiné les coins de la table. (I am glad that they beveled the corners of the table.)
In these examples, the Subjonctif Passé tense is used because the speaker is expressing uncertainty or doubt about whether the action of beveling was actually carried out. It is often used in situations where the speaker is not certain if the action was completed or not.
